Benjamin Disraeli once said, “There is no education like adversity,” a quote that resonates well with me. Through twelve years of schooling, countless advanced classes, and learning opportunities, I would consider myself well-educated; in reality nothing has prepared me for life as much as my biggest obstacle. Two weeks, vital time for a developing fetus. However, what happens without those last two weeks? In my case I was still developing my final touches, the consequence being bilateral hearing loss. My parents considered themselves lucky, knowing of course that it could have been much worse. Right around eighteen months, when most children start speaking, they noticed something that separated me from most kids- a speech impediment, because
There have been many cases of mass genocide in history. One such case was Adolf Hitler was a dictator who was leader of the Nazi party in Germany. The Nazis committed a mass genocide of the Jewish people, and anyone else who they didn't see to be “perfect”. Hitler's goal was to reform Germany into a utopian, or perfect society. Similar is a Cambodian man called Pol Pot, who also committed a mass genocide in order to make the perfect society. He lead the communist group in Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge using the people's fear and easily given trust. While the public's opinion of Pol Pot and the goals and impacts of the movement is important to know about, his overall life is more important to know about because it shaped his character which would cause the Cambodian genocide. Pol Pot had a privileged way of growing up compared to other Cambodians, which led him to think that he was superior to others. He was able to quickly gain power due to the people's already bad feelings towards the previous government. With that power Pol Pot made a lot of choices that would forever impact Cambodia, such as a mass genocide.
While many Americans assume “assisted suicide” or physician aid-in-dying (PAD) is unethical, they may not be fully aware of what it is and how it helps people. Imagine a loved one of yours was near the end of their life. The doctors predict only six months or less remain of their life and these next six months will consist of excruciating pain and will be almost too unbearable to comprehend. As the six months progress this person will lose the ability to eat. They will be forced to a diet of flaky ice chips which will put them in a state of relentless hunger making their body weaker and more painful than it had been before. They will also lose the ability to care for themselves and will find themselves relying on family members or complete strangers at times to care for their most private needs. After all this treatment, pain, embarrassment, and utter helplessness the patient will feel as if they have lost their dignity, they will feel as if they are a burden to everyone around them and will even become depressed in some cases. If the loved one lives in Washington State, Oregon, or Vermont they will then be faced with two options regarding the next six hypothetical months they can decide to take on the most unbearable six months of their life or they can resort to an alternative called “Death with Dignity” in which they will be administered a dose of medication from their physician that will take their life. The process is painless and can only be administered to patients
“We are not what we've done. We are what we’ve overcome.” This set of wise words implies that our true identity is not defined by the achievements we have made, but rather by the obstacles that we manage to overcome and what we learn from them. Like most others, I faced some struggles growing up, and they have played a major role in who I am today. While, some of these struggles consisted of physical barriers in the way of my education, others were economic struggles, later serving as my motivational drive for doing well in school. Each of these has taught me valuable lessons and are the reasons why I am the person who I am today.
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” (Albert Einstein)
Life. these four short letters describe something so big. It describes our whole past and our whole future. It describes every sad moments that we have been though and every happy moments that we have experienced. Most importantly, it describes our obstacles which have created our paths to the bright future and some day we will foresee these obstacles. I have failed many times in my Life and also have faced many obstacles whether it was losing a though game of basketball to having trouble coming to America. I overcame these obstacles by finding out my mistakes and learning from them. Finding out what was bringing me down and finding a solution to that problem in systematic way.
Time management is an on-going challenge that is important for my overall sucess. I currently work a full time job that requres many hours of travel. Gradaute work requires many dedicated hours of study time. Maintaining a healthy lifesytle is important for my overall well being. One challenge that I must overcome is maintaining enough sleep. One goal that I am working on to impove my sleep hygeine is to go to bed at the same time everynight and disconnect from social devices in my bedroom. Another goal is scheduling most of my work for completion before noon, when I am most alert.
During the course of our lives, we will all be faced with obstacles. Some may be small, such as losing your car keys. Others may be large, like losing your job. However, if you approach all obstacles with an ambitious attitude, and resilience, as opposed to just whining, moping, and becoming depressed about it, they can be much more easily overcame (Harrington, 2012).
As humans, we face various obstacles on a daily basis. Most of the time, they are relatively insignificant due to the frequency and value they have in our lives. However, all of us have and will continue to deal with significant obstacles that will greatly challenge us. I have discovered that having a supportive family, setting goals, and determination has helped me effectively overcome obstacles.
At the point when two individuals are in the same circumstance you can accept that their feelings or thoughts would be similar in nature. As it may, every individual has their own diverse characteristics which can be appeared in their emotions and activities to the occasion. This is clearly illustrated through Duncan 's murder in the story Macbeth between the two characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Their responses are shown through their initial reaction to the thought of murdering Duncan, immediately prior to the murder of Duncan, and immediately after the murder of Duncan.
“Challenges are what makes life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes them meaningful”. Obstacles are problems, given to us humans to solve. It could be something as big as being born with a disability or something as simple as learning how to ride a bike. Overcoming obstacles are never easy to begin with. Most obstacles are extremely hard and challenging. But by overcoming them, you’ll know why they are important. The importance of overcoming obstacles in life is to make you braver, stronger, and wiser. Everyone has their own obstacles to overcome, and some are illustrated by my own experience of learning how to ride a bike, John Green’s experience of going against his mental illness, and Thor’s experience of fighting against his very own sister, Hela.
Prior start to exercise, yoga, meditation or eating healthy and clean, I thought about the barriers and challenges that may limit my ability to initiate these actions. In addition, it is important to know the challenges and barriers because it will enable me to understand how I am going to achieve my goal and work hard for it. One of the challenge is to find the time and effort to initiate the action. Physical activity and yoga exercise for instance, for me I enjoy working in group, but I did not have the resources or time to join the gym (no transportation, course-work load, and working on my research). Thus, I decided to sign up for an online personal trainer and the trainer assisted me to incorporate physical activity, meditation and yoga
As Voltaire once said “ No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking” and with the help of Google, I am pretty positive I have at least a little understanding of what this quote’s purpose is. As we live our lives, we are faced with obstacles to overcome to accomplish certain goals we are after. When these obstacles or problems arise we have to stop and think about how to solve the issue to be able to move past the issue, and continue to work towards our goals.
“The smile on my face doesn't mean my life is perfect, it just means I appreciate what I have and what God has blessed me with” The unknown person once said. That quote really ties into the character named Quarta from the book named “The Girl Born Who Was Born With Only 2 Arms And 2 legs,” because Quarta has only two arms and two legs which is different. People need to give her another chance and stop underestimating her.
Everyone faces obstacles one time in their lives, how may we overcome those obstacles? Well, growing up in a small-town name Belle Glade, FL with a single parent of four. Education plays a big role throughout our household. Growing up seeing people getting shot and killed in front of your eyes can be a hard burden on your chest. No one wouldn’t want to experience death or death situations, and struggling at a very young age. Our community receives petite amount of help from the government. Growing up with a single parent was tough, watching your mom struggling to pay the light bill or water bill. My mother did anything it takes to keep a roof over our head to make sure we were harmless. My grandmother and aunts made me the man I am today. Of course, it was
Throughout life, many individuals encounter things in their life that they find difficult to overcome. Many of which overcome such obstacles quickly, while others fail to overcome them at all or at least it takes them a much longer time to do so. I fall into the third type of individual.
